704: Snake Juggling Edition

Show notes

In this week’s episode, JD Vance is MEH on causing the apocalypse, Christians at Burning Man are wildly offended by a celebration of death and rebirth, and Nintendo set the release date for the Ocarina of Time remake for November 5th. Unrelated to the show, but we have to at least acknowledge it.
